Wow, one year… one whole year I have been writing this blog! As I sit here typing, I am swaying in my chair and singing the lyrics to the 1990′s jam, “It’s Our Anniversary” by Tony! Toni! Toné!
However, I am replacing the word anniversary with blogoversary, because I am cool like that! It’s a damn good thing no one can see or hear me because I way waaay off key and the song in this context makes absolutely no sense!

For my blogoversary, I made The Pioneer Woman’s Italian Cream Cake, and let me tell you – this cake is fabulous!

If you follow me on twitter, you may remember my tweet about having a spoonful of this frosting for breakfast yesterday morning. I did omit the walnuts because Brian is allergic. Instead, I topping the cake with toasted coconut, and it is FAB!

For my blogoversary I wanted to put together a giveaway that would be comprised of some of my favorite things.

Pictured: Pinch bowls & Ice Cream Cone/Snow Cone Holders from Target
Giant Piping Tips and Cupcake Liners from Bake It Pretty (I love this little company!)
Pictured: Microplane and Silicone Spatula from Bed Bath and Beyond
Pictured: Mini Bundt Pans and Brownie Bite Pan by Wilton and purchased at Michael’s. Not pictured: an OXO Cherry Pitter from BB&B and a couple of small additions such as sprinkles and spoons…

    Happy Blogoversary!!!
    In the next year I'd like to get more organized. I'm such a mess and can use all the help I can get. I'd did learn how to make bread this past year so there's hope I can do the next goal.

    I can't wait to try making that cake! My goals for the next year include getting MY blog off the ground, working in a kitchen to work towards my long term goal of becoming a personal chef, and create a delicious pickle ice cream recipe. Sounds crazy, but I'll bet it is fantastic!
